on i'll be back again to the top of the hour with any updates on bush's ongoing military operation. thank you for watching. ah. when you have a pleasant teacher, it creates a large school of bachelors. so in other words, in your school of single man, for him, there are no potential mates. absolutely recipe for trouble. ah, rush, you know, with people when our publication, without justification, without necessity. this is a pre meditated text for hunter date in the present bio haven. it is basically a 2nd, a foreign policy quite but in the world to see what happens next. in the conflict,

frederick biting continues his narrative. this was an unjustifiable war on ukraine . kind, the leader of russia are poor riah on the global stake. however, not addressing the root cause of all of this turmoil and competing, there is not european unity and we're moving russia from this work banking system. president biden confirm here, counting on, painted to be the main weapon of the way, but it will not just be of russia who is going to be feeling the pain. i know he is done today that new beauty is we're going to give you the 360 view of a why is going on in your credit, and what effect this will have on an already struggling usaa card. ah, president biden is responding to the russian military operation and ukraine,

calling it a brutal and premeditated attack saying us intelligence. they predicted this all along. we been transparent with the world. we shared declassified evidence about russia's plans and cyber attacks and false pretexts so that it could be no confusion or cover up about what was doing poodle is the aggressor to chose this war. and now he and his country will bear the consequences. today i'm authorize an additional strong sanctions. now ukraine is claiming there are multiple casualties from russia. the pre dawn strikes on ukrainian military targets, such as communication depots and air bases. the russian of foreign ministry spokesperson maria soccer over, came on r t to talk about how the people have died. bass voted years ago to no longer be a part of ukraine and reached out to russia for help saying,

whose main objective is to stop the escalation of the war that despite not been reported on, has been going on for 8 years. ukraine was being honest with weapons from different places and in the written about europe, gray and other places in across the world go. i also applied ukraine. god with arms. i wanted the keys. why did they get with this morning? weapon was a, again, they could ask all will you should she would now, and we're not talking about preventing us some kind of an aid disaster or terrorism. it was clear, these will weapons. can you see me if i need an offensive employee? who were the lighting grade? they were fighting their whole id, their own citizens along the southeast. a lot of the country they i knew dazel it's low. yes. often about trying to do it. but again they were going dcs. the crimea,

but easy deal. great. they were plan, you'll go what's the over the night? last, is that a couple weeks i because the ukraine to go, i and ukrainian officials, when you upgrade you of your garden and say, i'm love the how believe lee? yeah. it, it, they should be probably good idea. consider that ukraine should get no nuclear weapons. is it and we're talking about country got one of ours. i see it right now earlier the kremlin announced to demands for keith. and according to a kremlin at press, secretary to be true, pest. gov. moscow is actually willing to negotiate terms of surrender with kiev under 2 conditions. the 1st is guaranteeing care of adopt a neutral status. and the 2nd is the promise of no weapons on his territory. a passcode went on to say potent would actually determine the timing of these negotiations, but gave assurances that russia would only, and i quote,

engage in the leadership of ukraine, is ready to talk about it a pest. gov also suggested the current military attack of ukraine could be called off if kiev or 2 agreed to meet those demands. i want to bring in our very own business, one of su drones. andrew burke west, who is a former counterterrorism officer and host of this is my show withdrew parkway. thanks for joining me gentlemen. family. the president put in originally ordered the russian forces to perform peace keeping functions to the region. and this was following the request by the leaders of both domestic and lou ganske people's republic. so drive to ask you how and why do you see that it expanded into every part of ukraine? well, look and thinking again. thanks for having me, scott. it's great to be here, i think you've got to understand which is not always easy to do. but it shouldn't be that surprising that happen. i think that he always is going to use certain

terminology, certain rhetoric out there to describe what he's doing and why he's doing it. but you can always just take that at his word. so i think that this is always been a goal. his is to kind of restore his legacy to restore kind of what used to be the soviet union. and this could very well be a 1st step of that. it's not to say that it will go there, but certainly he's not going to be content based on who is, who is always been just with taking that eastern section. well, but you have to wonder if things have changed from the very beginning. we've gone through a very interesting 3 week free initially said that he was not going to invade ukraine over and over again. and now we're seeing the events of the last 24 hours. and that's what i want to throw you on this one, been, president biden has announced that he's gonna be sending an additional $7000.00 american troops to the doorsteps of russia in the baltics, as nato is bolstering on the eastern flank, though by didn't made this promise listen, although we provide an over $650000000.00 in defensive assistance to ukraine just this year. last year. let me say it again. our forces are not and

will not be engaged in the conflict with russia in ukraine. our forces are not going to europe to fight in ukraine, but to defend our nato allies and reassure those allies in east. as i made crystal clear, the united states will defend every inch of native territory with the full force of american power. ok, bed. are there any signs from russia? the fighting ar is actually going to expand outside of the borders of ukraine. when reporters asked fight and he had no response. well, he had no response, but been consider those 2 terms that were essentially given by the kremlin. today you talked about them in the lead up here, and i think that's incredibly important if what putin is trying to do is restore the old soviet union if he wants to take ukraine. and now that's his kind of crown jewel that he's captured. and now he wants to take over all these nato countries, as we're hearing in the media today. it doesn't fit very closely with the narrative

of what the kremlin specifically asked for. they didn't even ask that the existing sitting president of ukraine stepped down. they simply said, give us 2 things and by the way, those 2 things are the same to things that, that the kremlin and vladimir putin have been asking for 4 months, if not years, which is number one that ukraine being neutral. and number 2, it not be a staging ground for nato and western weapons. those are pretty significant things . you also have to look at the fact that the wiki leaks released cia cables just today. scotty. that specifically point to documents for the cia, said that by pushing for nato involvement of ukraine and ga, those 2 countries that they knew that this would put russia in a position where it had to respond. because it would feel like it was being surrounded by nato. countries and so the fact that you'd not only moved in with such force as quickly as he did, but it's already saying before we even get to key of if you,

if you want to settle with us, this is what we want in the negotiation. these 2 terms to be met, and if that's agreed to and all of a sudden russian troops are back out again. i think the, the one, yes. brookins going to look bad on the world stage. but so does nato, when that's what he was asking for from the beginning. and the biden administration would not agree that ukraine would not become a part of nato. well, and, and that's the question right here is, is the end goal, the same things that were asked for today. like you point out that as what was asked 3 weeks ago, it's been asked for all along. so drew, i want you to consider right now considering the proposal that has come from moscow in 2014, the acting president was removed from power by a u. s. government backed to do you think the landscape actually risking angering the u. s. and possibly the same fate as the 2014 president, if he accepts russian terms to end this offensive. and could that be in the back of his mind? i mean, yeah, possibly, and you have to understand how our intel apparatus works. i mean,

we do we metal and play with a lot of those things in the background and make sure that we've got the people we want there. and if it's not, or if they go against how we do things, then we change how the terms are moving forward. just like a lot of world powers do. but yeah, i mean, i think those are all things to consider. but look, i mean, of course, of course, prudent doesn't want ukraine to be a part of that. of course, the lensky wants more help. maybe he does that. what i hope with all of this is that, and i, i think joe's been a horrible job and i think that if he had been the leader that the world needs america to be during this time, we probably wouldn't be as far down this road despite the demands and the desires of putting in ukraine. everyone else, the reason, but if, if, if we, if we go in there, if nato goes in there, i think it's going to be a colossal mistake. and i really hope despite people specifically zelinski and others within, you can calling for that hope that that does not happen well, and then i understand that. so let's go to this idea. i'm with you because it's really interesting. we're seeing these anti war protests at all in america, across europe, but also hundreds of people gathered in moscow and saint petersburg. they're all

changing no to war. i do. and also point out that there's not barriers set up around the kremlin. there's not walls put up the national guard hasn't been called in sort of like, what's happening in washington dc with all these truckers condos and what we've seen in canada and recent weeks. but i have to wonder, has nato done zalinski wrong by not offering on the ground troops support after being the main agitators, the ones that have been speaking even to lisky has kept asking for the last 3 weeks for the wes caper down your rhetoric. this is not going to end well for my people. then, well, look, nato can't nato cannot. nato cannot send troops in, and they can't get involved in this militarily. now the president said today when he spoke, and this is bad news, if you're zelinski, he says, we're not coming right. we will not go engage with the russians on the ground in ukraine. we're going to send troops into these other nato countries that border you . so that he doesn't come out, and that raises a whole series of questions also. right. as you said,

why is nato dragging along zalinski dragging along ukraine, the cia knowing that they're poking the bear by insisting on this floating, the idea of nato inclusion of ukraine. but there is no actual inclusion and so you put you creating a terrible position here and back to the point that you were talking about a minute ago when we're talking about all the way back to 2014 victoria newland. we know that she was heavily involved in the obama administration in the overthrow of the piano coverage government in ukraine at the time. we know that over the years, the biden family's been very involved in ukraine. and then of course, the situation with nato, continually pushing and pushing and refusing to acknowledge ukraine won't be a part of nato nato, as a country. folks need to understand it's run by n g o, it's not run by the president of ukraine. and so at some point, ukraine has to be able to step back and say it, listen, nato does not have our best interest in mind. they do not have the best interest of our people to mind. we have to make decision for ourselves. and when nato is not coming, they're not gonna show up on their white horse to save you. and they're going to

say, well, we'll spend months issuing sanctions and we'll see how russia feels in a few months. give doesn't have months. in fact, they might not even have hours at this point. so what decision is going to have to be made pretty quick? and we forget that the same people that are advising right now, joe biden, present by security and the same ones that have been behind the disasters of afghanistan, of syria, of what we're talking about. been guys, he go down your list, there's been no positive things that have come out of some of these foreign conflicts and yet here they are again, drew. i do think that there are many americans who are surprised and they're still this, you know. com batting in the western media right now of the violence has been happening and don baskin lew hands, regions over the last 8 years against the separatist. as well as the dispute as to whether or not there are some current powers in the region who are nazi sympathizers. do you think these are legitimate stories? and if they are, why haven't they been covered? why have they been ignored? well, why are almost all the major important new stories not covered or ignored?

you know, there's, there's always politics, piano, there's always, you know, national strategic interest behind it. look, there's been realities on the ground there without a shout of a doubt. it's just not been on the radar here in the international news because of stuff that's more important to those people. the issue does your so i think that there have definitely been issues there. there's definitely been some of that real . there's been some and look, i can't tell you with, with certainty that the as all fighters are the new or not the people claim them to be. i know there are some that are, there's people who claim they aren't. but the reality of this there has been, it's been a contested area for a while now. it's been something that anyone who's in that space are focused on that region. as well aware of the rest of the world's just been asleep, paying attention to. so to major, whether it's major international politics the, you know, us politics, some of the stuff we've got going on. but, but that, that doesn't take away from the fact that it has been real. and once again, this is not just something that's come out over night 2014, but for even prior to that there was trouble. 2014, there was a qu, you don't get over a government qu overnight, and i think that's part of history that people failed to remember and the conflicts

. and this is not just been a peace keeping loving area since then. been drew always great to chat with you boy price his job at 8 percent. the white house contemplate really thing up more oil from the reserves. however, will the body missed ration use this opportunity to make us more dependent on the middle east before we opening options and how i can i'm a expert to join us after the break. oh, i was thinking somehow i had to come back because mom was waiting for me. i just knew that everything would be fine. for some reason we were so confident because we were going to get married officially after he came back. how could he not come? because the mere thought of it never crossed her mind.

the militants decided to try and break through. i heard your guinea app of screaming grenade, google. woo, woo ne, explosion below him. we'll run his bag through a little and it was all over ocean. we know that our comrades and our commander won't leave us. no matter how tough it gets where team agreeable. if jenny was a senior in his military trio video, he knew that if he didn't smother that grenade with his body more, if his comrades would die, he gave his own life to save his friends. ah

ah, oil prices around the world had hit a record high after russian launch military action in the ukraine bags for say, americans can expect to pay more at the pump in a time when a gas prices and inflation are already high. r t contributor my borrows reports. ah, already rising gas prices are expected to climb even higher after russia's military offensive, and ukraine, according to aaa as of thursday. the average price for a gallon of gas in the united states is $3.54 a gallon. that's up almost a dollar a gallon from a year ago. and expert say price is good, eventually talk more dollars. globally, oil is up more than 5 percent us crude futures are trading it more than $96.00 a barrel. while brent crude oil traded at over $100.00 a barrel for the 1st time since 2014 natural gas prices also serves 5.39

percent. so i think that right now, investors are extremely concerned that you know, short term, it's going to be extremely volatile. we're going to be headline driven, and i think that everyone is still awaiting what is going to be the coordinator response from the g 7. the, as far as how to approach russia, russia's military move prompt and washington in europe to bow sanctions that may also impact the global economy, like cutting off the country from global banking and financial markets. germany also holds the north stream to project a pipeline that carries natural gas from russia to germany. russia already provides 30 to 40 percent of europe's gas and wields a huge influence over prices. the u. s. gets most of it. oil from canada, with canadian in ports making up over 50 percent of us supply. russia makes up about 7 percent of us, oil imports, but with sanctions, there's a strong chance those barrels will stop coming. the u. k is much less reliant on russian gas at less than 5 percent, but higher prices in europe,

which does rely heavily on russian gas. still impact prices in the u. k. i mean, maybe banking on some resistance from european governments to go that far because they would be also impact just if the energy exports were russia produced, the 17 percent of all natural gas and 12 percent of the world's oil. as the uncertainty continue, the military action between russia and ukraine expert say it's possible oil prices can ryan to merely i'll $150.00 a barrel for archie and molly baron. while this conflict is already hitting us here at home on thursday, present by and spoke about the effect, his sanctions would have on russia and the russian people. that means every asset they have in america will be frozen. this includes v t b, the 2nd largest bank in russia, which has $250000000000.00 and assets. as promised,

we're also adding the names to list of russian and leech and family members that are sanctioning that were sanctioned as well. as i said on tuesday, these are people who personally gain from the criminals policies and they should share in the pain. want to take a closer look and bring in a former us to our official under bush and clinton, steve gill, and taught above horwitz, founder and ceo of trade. thanks for joining me, gentlemen. great beer. and mister with you on bob of this, how likely do you think it is that the u. s. is going to look to the middle east and the arab countries to make up the oil and gas difference from rushing or the we're finding out that it's actually $595000.00 barrels per day for the u. s. alone . and what countries do you think in the middle east is the rand nuclear deal is going to go into a conversation next week. could actually be bite and looking to 4 to make up for this. well, binary, looking at their record, rams, and for sure, you're rabies. already begged them 3 times for moral. and the sad part of the

obscurity is that we could do it ourselves here and cut prices by 60 percent and go back to the $35.00 a barrel that we're at. but of course, we continue to fight a losing battle, and of course, buying is blank checkers when everybody else is playing just. and it's making a mockery in a disaster out of the, the oil market because there's no way there are no reason we should be at this high levels. we've got over at 200 years supply in current usage in the ground without having to affect much of the environment. and of course, we're going to still be driving yes, cars and oil is still going to be a par. fossil fuels are still going to be a part of the environment one of years from now. we'll say i'm only at the politics . could you think with this, if we do end up deciding that by the fears that he wants to buy as well from the middle east, could this bound us tighter to those arab countries, whether it is iran, iraq, sa, to ravia, and would that have an effect on our foreign policy has it in the past, it has in the past and we're going to go back to having to neil to their whims,

to get our oil. when, as boat points out, we've got plenty, we've got our own. and the only thing that has changed is that we went from energy independence, when the valued ministration came in back to energy dependence. and now they want to make us even more dependent upon the middle east faction, the, the global factions that we can't control. we need to immediately reopen that. i find we need to immediately reopen the fracking and the opportunities to get to our own oil and gas and coal, and make ourselves energy independent and energy exporters again, why don't we make a profit off energy instead of having to depend on the shout? saudi shakes, and others to, to give us the oil that we're having to pay too much for. and keep in mind that this is not a new problem, but we had solved it until the valued ministration came in and broken again within one year. but steven, or josh holly, i guess, maybe they read your mind. i think it's common sense actually says that he's going to introduce legislation on monday in the senate. when they return to lift joe biden's, a shut down of the american energy sector. seeing what has happened over the last

few days, do you think this will actually pass with both republicans and democrats in support of it? did my polls are driving most of this? now you already have the democrats start talking about lowly back the the federal gas tax, which would save us about $0.18 at the pub. hey, here's a clue by the administration. reopen our pipelines, reopened the gas and an oil we produced, and we'll drop it back. a dollar again, not just this distance of $0.18. and as the report mentioned for molly, they're, they're looking at a 35 percent increase in the price of a barrel of oil. that's going to hit you at the supermarket that's going to get you and everything you buy. because everything we buy gets transported by fuel loaded trucks to our grocery stores, our manufacturing facilities, and everywhere else. well bubba, i have to think of the timing of this because to think of the germans decision to cut off north strain to which happened yesterday towards the end before everything kind of a few hours for the burger. do you think the hand effect on the timeline of events

by russia? i mean, what else did nato have to use as a leverage to convince people to, in this diplomatically muskogee we? nobody's got the leverage right now because we played the wrong game. okay. the problem is exactly what we're talking about here is that we should be the next quarter. our i'll should be at $2.00 a gallon instead of $4.00 or 5 hours, wherever you're living. we should be supplying the world with natural gas. we have the ability to do all that. we have the ability to profit on all that. the shut down is a joke. they're only the germany shutting down is only hurting themselves. they have enough trouble getting natural gas in europe. natural gas is about 5 times the price is in the united states, so that they're about a huge problem that we could all benefit dramatically from it. they would just go back to being an energy exporter and making everything better for american 1st because we should take care of ourselves and quit cow town to china,

russia saudi arabia and the rest. it is getting to be a point where it's like you're trying to break the middle class, which is terrible because again, fossil fuels are used in making water bottles. in almost everything you do, it has something to do with a fossil fuel. and we need them until we have a better alternative, and we do not had that solution as of yet well. and i am just as much a care and love for the environment, anybody else. but guess what? the fuel is going to become from somewhere and we live in a globe, a world we all share the the world. so therefore when you take it from wave, you don't take it one place, but you take it for the other a bow, it's all net 0. so the fact that this is all about environmental conservative is absolutely wrong because it's coming from somewhere. it's telling people are reducing their, their consumption. that being said, a, another issue that come out of this, steve, switzerland issued sanctions on russian banks. sanctions, they usually actually don't affect the politicians. they end up actually going down affecting the people. do you think any of these sanctions are going to have

a real effect, or are they basically superficial actions by some of these countries? so they can appear at least to america, that they support, that they do not support what russia has done in ukraine. first of all, you're exactly right that whatever we do on the environment, it's good. i squeeze in a balloon is going to pop out somewhere else. we can reduce our oil consumption, we could reduce our oil production. china is still polluting like crazy with coal. so it doesn't help for us to hurt our own economy, while other countries are not following the same rules. now as to the sanctions they, they will have a minuscule impact. because keep in mind, we can about 90 percent of our neon gas that we need for our production of electronic devices, palladium and other minerals come from ukraine. as president trump pointed out, russia has taken over more than the sanctions will cost them. and apparently nobody in the bind administration could do simple math and realize that and recognize that that was probably a part of the equation with factory and on how to handle the situation. ukraine,

by the steve, always great to have a conversation with you. well, i want you to stay tuned to r t in can actually download the portal, got to the app as decent pants are going to continue, develop both the frame russia as a raw as well around the world. now more than ever is very important to look at a variety of sources to get the full picture. and i appreciate you including and i like always. i promised to bring you the truth and i tried you the viewer to make up your own mind. thankful liking and like always will see you next time they happy they helping they influence ah, with

moscow repeatedly warned, it would not tolerate you. crane being used by nato to threaten russia's national security. those warnings were not taken seriously. even dismissed out of hand. what we're witnessing is the cuban missile crisis in reverse, and this could have easily been avoided. it's been 30 years since the soviet union collapsed in miss couple other literature. well, the one to what the problem yet nuclear you talk so. so shown where you also trust someone called them ukraine was one of the independent states that emerge from the ruins of a super bow. i'm doing awesome. good. would you also get on google greens? come on board. surely confusing. some of the i can last new lucian, west, nor did better lung or law or else what is a as a resource for you to view this as

a research perspective, to scribble for our does, should a, for apple watch the past 3 decades, when likely ukraine eye witnesses, recall the events. this will be more or less so do tissue within a deficiency of chipotle. what i knew that with that order, i'm not sure, but i did that for months with no idea what else and what other forces were at play . you have to do, so let me show you engine machine, those them you are in the kid what it would occur when it shows up in them was a version only slower. take a look at ukraine, 30 years out, the gaining independence. if you're going to read your phone with us here in unity recorded live, but a will, it makes you, could you show it opium? lush williston open software, with

ah rushes, defense minister orders safe exit routes for ukrainian soldiers willing to surrender as a military operation on falls. thus, after the russian president ordered a special operation, say name is to defend the people of the don boss from aggression by the ukrainian military that he may, putin stressed. russia has no plans for occupation here. the severs diplomatic relations with russia and urges the west to build an anti puting coalition. as while the us on his allies islam the cremeans operation as a barbaric at sack. and vow the harshest of sanctions.
